The Golden Compass - Official Teaser

Though Iorek is all wrong (he should be bigger, wilder, more dangerous!) and so, too, is Lord Asriel (ditto!), everything else looks fabulous. Love Serafina and also Nicole Kidman as Mrs Coulter. I agree with the film-makers - as opposed to the author - that Mrs Coulter should be blond, instead of dark-haired. (Only her daemon is golden, in the book.)Though I stand against Philip Pullman's attacks on CS Lewis and Tolkien, I do love his trilogy and can't wait to see the film.

About Me

I was born in Ireland and grew up in Toronto, Canada with my seven sisters and two brothers. Left home at seventeen to live in a commune, then headed off across Canada with my pal, Carole, and we hitch-hiked around California for months, then back up to Vancouver(Van as we called it then) and across Canada with two more pals, Linda and Peggy. A year later, headed off to Malaysia and Borneo with Jeunesse Canada Monde/Canada World Youth for a year. Baik-lah! Back home, went to Trinity College at the University of Toronto (posh blokes) while also joining the Canadian Naval Reserve as an Officer Cadet. Trained on the east and west coasts of Canada every summer. Great fun. Then what? Hmm. Started to write books, dodgy personal life (that's personal but let's just say it's been a long time between drinks) started to wander around the world, had a darling daughter, settled down in Ireland, wrote more books.
